Ep. #166 | Healing your hormones
Listen on Apple Podcasts
Welcome back for another bite of Simplicity. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women’s revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.
In this simplicity bite, we will be discussing a question that I hear a lot, one that I think about often, which is How can I heal my hormones for good? As women, our bodies are ever changing, ever cycling, ever evolving and therefore there is going to be a bit of undulation that will happen based on where your body is at, how your body is feeling, what you are experiencing.
What I want to share with you today is how you can work on the foundation so that you can make sure that things like your gut, adrenals, blood sugar, your thyroid and your sex hormones are getting the attention and the care that they ultimately need.
You can find a graphic on this topic on our Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/jennpike/
Here are the main topics of this simplicity bite in order of priority:
- Digestion and Gut
- Insulin levels
- Adrenal function and hormones
- Thyroid
- Sex hormones
- Symptoms are our messengers

Quotes:
- “The protocol system within the hormone project is to work on digestion and gut first. We want to make sure you are able to digest what you’re consuming, break it down, pull the nutrients from it and that you’re free from digestive issues, gut infections, inflammation. So it’s really important that the digestive and the assimilation piece is happening as well as the elimination piece, that you’re pooping on a daily basis.”
- “From there it’s then working on supporting your insulin, managing your blood sugar and your insulin levels… if your blood sugar is not stable and you are now in a state of stress as a result of it, That will impact your digestion and increase your rate of inflammation.”
- “Your adrenals are so critical because it is how our body is responding to stress. It is what is building up our resiliency, helping to support our immune system, helping to support thyroid, helping to support ovarian health.”
- “Your brain health is super important and your mitochondria health mean everything”
- “I encourage you prioritise in order of gut, blood sugar, adrenals, thyroid, then the sex hormone.”
- “The symptoms are the messengers. It’s what we need to pay attention to. You want to start to write some things down, collect some data about your body, pay attention, and then begin to start to put these things into place.”
